First organized in 2013, the International Design Week Werkwoche was launched by the Faculty of Design of the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences. The festival offers a wide programme of workshops, lectures and and exhibitions on current topics to reveal the future trends on design and media as well as its related disciplines. Together with distinguished designers and lecturers from Berlin, Munich and Dessau, from Ohio, Jerusalem, Amsterdam, Lyon and Istanbul we explore, discuss and showcase the role of contemporary design and we foster exchange and awareness of the vital role design plays in our lives. All students are welcome to take part.
